Psyche and Eros Picture

From the mythological story. This is the scene where Psyche sneaks in with a lighted lamp to steal a glimpse of her (previously unseen - he only appeared to her in darkness) husband. By seeing him, she loses him.

This was a pen and ink commission that I had so much fun working on, and liked so much that I decided to color it on the computer. I "cheated" to get my color palette, in that I downloaded a few Rembrandt paintings, and sampled a range of colors from them to get the lamplit, subdued coloring that I wanted for this one.
